But FEAR NOT if not possible for you to join 'live' in your location at those times, as the entire sitting is recorded in 'REAL TIME' and available for full participation 'on demand' at any time after that, no different from the 'live' sitting :

As you can see, our Zazenkai consists of chanting the 'Heart Sutra' in English (the words are at the link below), some full floor prostrations in sets of three (please follow along with me ... or a simple Gassho can be substituted if you wish), followed by our Dedication, Zazen twice for 30 minutes each, with 10 minutes of Kinhin in between, and we end the sitting with 'The Verse of Atonement' and 'The Four Vows'.

Please download and print out the words of the Chants we will recite at the following link:

Good to see Will gave the okay! Off work this weekend but have a Tea demonstration Saturday. I'll be sitting Sunday morning. That is of course, if the world doesn't end :shock: :lol:
Because that's the only way I would miss it!

Re: May 21st, 2011 Treeleaf Weekly Zazenkai

Hi all,

I have my family in town this weekend, but popped in for the first round of zazen. Very theraputic, although not the point...more about doing something that has become like drinking water or breathing. Just something I do. So, getting to that point with zazen...very theraputic.
